Reviews"To read Lisa Gardner is to put yourself in the hands of a master storyteller. In Before She Disappeared , she gives us a crackling mystery, gritty atmosphere and an unforgettable heroine. I loved the damaged, determined Frankie Elkin. You will, too."-- Riley Sager, bestselling author of Home Before Dark, "[An] outstanding crime novel.... Gardner pulls no punches in this socially conscious standalone."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "It's hard to tag just one stand-out element here, between the multidimensional portrayal of Mattapan's Haitian expat community, Frankie's humanizing demons and straightforward investigative technique, and a page-turning plot with all its ends tucked in unpredictably tight. Tense and immersive, Gardner's latest...is a sure bet both for readers drawn to gritty gumshoe fiction and for the growing legion of true- crime podcast fans."-- Booklist (starred review) "As Frankie's investigation progresses, it offers an up-close look into some of the issues that plague American society today--racism, antipathy toward immigrants and the trafficking of young women--while providing a blistering narrative and sympathetic characters... Before She Disappeared is billed as a standalone, but I'm thinking it would be the perfect setup for a terrific series."-- Bookpage "To read Lisa Gardner is to put yourself in the hands of a master storyteller. In Before She Disappeared , she gives us a crackling mystery, gritty atmosphere and an unforgettable heroine. I loved the damaged, determined Frankie Elkin. You will, too."-- Riley Sager, bestselling author of Home Before Dark "Nuanced and complex, Before She Disappeared proves once more Lisa Gardner knows how to set a hook better than anyone. It's a 'just one more chapter' thriller that will have you reading into the night. I loved it."--Gregg Olsen, bestselling author of Water's Edge "An exceptional amateur sleuth thriller...a very recommendable read."-- Mystery and Suspense
Series Volume Number1
SynopsisTHE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a propulsive thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will--searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own--and she soon learns she's asking questions someone doesn't want answered. But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing could be her.
